A new social media trend encourages grown men to call each other to say "good night," challenging traditional masculinity norms. These humorous interactions often reveal discomfort among men, who typically do not express care for one another before bed. While such gestures may seem trivial, they highlight a broader issue of male loneliness, which has been described as an epidemic. Experts note that many men struggle to reach out due to societal expectations, leading to isolation and a lack of mental health support, with only 1 in 10 men receiving treatment for mental health issues.
Dr. Rachel Austin, a Maryland-based clinical psychologist, expressed that while the trend of men saying "good night" to each other is humorous, it underscores a serious issue of male loneliness.
The rise of men reaching out to say "good night" highlights an urgent cultural shift needed to counteract ingrained masculinity norms that discourage emotional connectedness.
